Condition

Written by Jacob Ibrag

If you could go back and change one thing, what would it be?

That promise you couldn’t keep? Maybe with your current state of

mind, you’ll keep it this time. That heart you broke? Maybe it’ll be easier

if you never met her. Those tears you caused? Maybe you’ll think twice.

Truth is, you can’t ever go back. The past will always be there, staring at

you from a distance. You can’t change what’s already been. The only way

to move forward from whatever is holding you back is by confronting it.

It’s uncomfortable and you might feel utterly hopeless in even considering

it. That’s exactly how it should be. It should never be easy, you have to earn

the right to live free. Free from guilt that you collected. Free from the words

that slipped without you thinking. They might think your selfish for trying

to garnish closure, and that’s alright. Give them a chance to hate you in front

 of you and not in their own minds. Give them a chance to destroy who you

used to be. Let them liberate you as will for them. If you could go back

and change one thing, reject it. Embrace the human condition.
